A Letter from Dr. Marina Hitchen to the Unity High School Community - 16th September 2014

Hi

One of your students joined my school in Jeddah today which
brought back memories. Good to see all the pictures on this site and if you
have any new ones please get them up here. Not so good to hear that the school
is once again facing some problems. This was sadly inevitable and such a pity
parents did not act sooner to take back the school for the rightful owners. We
also have some more documents about the sale of the school to Bishop Gwynne
(receipts and such like) and his transference to the Trustees. I am sure many
of you would find them interesting and hopefully we can post them up soon.
There are also some nice photos including one of Clergy House. Please work to
try to bring justice to Bishop Gwynne and all those missionaries and teachers
who built your school into the best school in Africa. Do not let them down.
They and your children deserve so much more.

I have to say that I do miss Khartoum and there are so very
few schools with the history that Unity has. I will be visiting soon and hope
to catch up with some of you then. Good Luck.

Unity High School is an independent, co-educational, multi-racial school that serves the needs of pupils from various backgrounds whose parents have chosen a British-style education. Founded in 1928 but with clear historical links back to 1902, it has always, as its name implies, been open to pupils of all ethnic groups and faiths.
